GOLD TO BE FREELY USED. JBlonco Trying to Buy Over the Insur. gent Leaders. Havana, Nov. 24. General Pando started for this city by train last Satur day, according to official announce ment, to take charge of the campaign against the insurgents. He was "ac companied by all his staff, and was es corted by a company of artillery. It is stated on good authority, how ever, that Pando has been commis sioned by Captain-General Blanco to enter into communication with the in surgent leaders, with a view to arrang ing for peace. This statement is based upon accurate knowledge of all the facts. Pando first secured the release from confinement of Damien Caballero, who had been imprisoned for acting as a spy for the insurgents. Pando fur niched Caballero, who is god -father of Rabi, the man looked upon as being the backbone of the insurgent govern ment in the province of Santiago de Cuba, with a considerable sum of money and caused him to be attended to Manzanillo, where a good force was placed at his disposal. Pando's peace emraissary was also furnished official documents empowering him to act in behalf of the Spanish commander. Pando instructed Caballero to offer army General Rabi high rank in the Spanish army and a largo sum of money to be distributed among the other insurgent leaders of that part of Cuba, and in addition, a large amount of money for himself in the event of his succeeding in arranging terms of peace. Although Caballero has not returned, confidential advices reaching Spanish officials here seem to indicate that he has so far been unsuccessful. It is un derstood that Rabi replied that he be lieved the successful ending of the war in favor of the insurgents was ap proaching, that the Cubans, with the aid of the United States, will gain their independence, and therefore he desires to continue fighting the Span iards until the final victory is won. FIRE ON THE OREGON. Caused by Spontaneous Combustion A Narrow Escape. San Francisco, Nov. 24. The Call says: The coal bunkers in the United States battle-ship Oregon caught fire Sunday evening from. spontaneous com bustion, and for over eight hours the crew worked with a vengeance to smother what looked like a costly blaze. There were over 250 tons of coal in the vessel, and prompt action alone saved the ship and fuel. The fire is supposed to have started from water leaking into the coal bunkers. This would eventu ally cause a torrific heat from accumu lating gasses. Luokily, the fire" was discovered before it had gained much headway. An alarm was immediately given, and orders wore issued to remove the coal from the vessel to the wharf. Steainpipes were attached and connec tion made with the lower part of the vessel in an attempt to smother what fire might have been in other parts of the ship. The men went to work with a will, but the tusk was larger than had at first been supposed. The work was done with difficulty, as the smoke hin dered the men in their attempts to quickly put it out. During the whole night after the fire had been discovered, the entire crew labored in removing the smoking and blazing coal, and it was not until day light that the men were allowed to leave their work. The warship will be drydocked within a fow days and properly righted, after whioh she will be coaled and her ammunition placed on board, after which she will be ready for action, Senate Will Kill the Currency Bill. Denver, Nov. 24. Congressman John C. Roll, of Colorado, stopped off a few hours in this city on his way to Washington, where he goes to attend a meeting of the appropriations commit tee. Speaking of the probable action of congress at its coming session on the financial question, lie said: "I think a bill will pass the house practical. y as recommended by the ex ecutive, und it will then go to the sen ate, where it will be abandoned by that body and an appeal will be made to the people that they must make the sen ate Republican before any remedial legislation can be obtained." With reference to the admission of new Western states, Congressman Bel) said: "There will be no more Western states admitted into the Union while the Republican party has control ol either house. The speaker told me last year that ho felt great responsi bility for having taken an active part in admitting the Western states. He said the power of the Western senators was unjust, and had been greatly abused, and was, in fact, checking the development of tbo country; that he thought it was a grievous wrong for the Western senators to stand in the w ay of the progress of the country. Many senators will probably oppose the ad mission of tlnifo territories because ol this impression. "Hawaii will he annexed." I.uetgrrt'a Trial Went Over. Chicago, Nov. 24.

PROBLEM FOR NEXT CENTURY Competition of American Nations Fright ens the Powers of the Old World A Battle for Existence. Vienna. Nov. 23. Count Goluchow ski, the Austro-IIungarian minister of foreign affairs, in his annual address yesterday before the Austrian and Hun garian delegations, when making an ap peal to all Europe to take advantage of the present era of peice and to join closely for the vigoror defense of con duions common to Eii.opean countries as gainst "the crus),ing competition of irans-Atlantic nations," said: "The turning point has been reached in Europe which callb for the unremit ting attention of the governments. The great problems of material dam age, which become more pressing every year, are no longer matters for the fu ture, but require to be taken in hand instantly. The destructive competition whioh trans-oceanio countries are carry ing on at present, and which is, in part, to be expected in the immediate future, requires prompt and thorough counteracting measures if the vital in terests of the people of Europe are not to be gravely compromised. " We must fight shoulder to shoulder against a common - danger, and arm ourselves for the struggle with all the means at our disposal. Just as the 16th and 17th centuries were absorbed by religious wars; just as the 18th cen tury was marked by the triumph of lib eral ideas, and just as the 19th century has been notable for the appearance of great questions of nationality, eo will the 20th century be for Europe a period marked by a struggle for existence in the politico-commercial sphere. Euro pean nations must close ranks in order to successfully defend their existence. "May this be "realized everywhere, and may the epoch of peaoeful develop ment we now confidently anticipate be employed in collecting our strength and devoting our services chiefly to this end." Speech Excited Great Interest. London, Nov. 23. The Berlin corre spondent of the Daily Chronicle says: "Count Goluchowski's statement, with reference to the struggle with America has excited the most wide spread interest here. It is believed that before he made public so remarka ble an enunciation of policy, he had the consent of the other powers, with the exception of England, and spoke as the mouthpiece of those governments." The Vienna correspondent says: "Count Goluohowski's appeal to Eu rope to unite against the trans-oceanio countries Is regarded rather as a pla tonio desire than as a concerted pro gramme. Thus far, no practial attempt in that direction is intended, at least not by Austria." EXCITEMENT AT FEVER HEAT. Che too Stirred I'p Over the Coolldge Tragedy. Crescent City, Cal., Nov. 23. There is much excitement in and about Chet co as the result of the killing of young Coolidge by the Van Pelts, over the townsite.qne8tion.

The Diamonds Were Greased. New York, Nov. 23. An attempt to defraud the government was prevented by the United States appraiser todav, when an importation of 200 or 300 karats of small diamonds were invoiced at about 124 per karat. The diamonds had evidently been put into a solution of resin and grease, thus dulling their color to such au extent that the dia monds appeared to bo of little value. When washed in alcohol and hot water, the appraiser of the diamonds found them of fine quality and exceptionally well cut. The duties and penalties upon this invoice will now amount t more than $4,500; whereas, under a correct invoice, less than $1,000 would ha ,tve been collected. The Boat ( part. Good Ground, L.

New York, Nov. 24. The steamer Saratoga, from Havana, having on board the released men of the Competi tor crew, has been reported entering the harbor. The men are: 1 Captain Alfredo Luborde. William Gildea. Ona Melton. William Keavitt. Charles Bernctt, an Englishman. The five men were in fairly good health and excellent spirits on reaching quarantine. Captain Laborde suffers somewhat from paralysis, which he contracted during his long confinement in the Cabanas fortress. Joseph A. Springer, the United States vice-consul at Havana, was also a passenger on the Saratoga. Mr. Springer declined to talk for publication. The released men wore the clothes in which they were clad at the time of their capture, on April 25, 1890, at Berracoa, San Catalino, Cuba. Another happy passenger on the Saratoga was Julio Arago y Quesada the young Cuban insurgent who was or dered to be shot by H'eyler, but was pardoned by General Blanco, a friend of the prisoner's father. The six men who had escaped the fate of the Virginius captives were greeted upon their arrival by an enthu siastic crowd, who gave them a hearty welcome, but the poor wretches were too weak to respond to the cheers which had been given in their honor. TO RESTRICT SILVER OUTPUT. Alleged Object of the Proponed Smelter Combine. New York, Nov. 24. Representa tives of several silver mining and re fining works of the United States and Mexico will meet in New York tins week to form, if possible, a combina tion agency to control the price of sil ver futures. The price of silver for future deliv ery is always less than the price of cash silver, and the smelters want to equalize prices. It is suid that the smelters hope by their combination to stiffen the price of silver and eventu ally reduce the output, although they deny the report that they intend to form a silver trust. Among the works to be represented at the conference are the International Metal Company, of New York; the Omaha & Grant Smelting Company, of Omaha; the Mexican Smelting Com pany of Monterey; the Phildelphla Smelting & Refining Company, of Pue blo, and the Guggenheim Smelting Company, of Port Amboy, N. J. A POPULAR TICKET. The Sebastian lulernegntlahle Mileage Book ill Great Demand. Chicago, Nov. 24. The new form of Internegotiable mileage ticket is prov ing very popular. The Sebastian ticket was placed on sale November 15, and 25,000 tickets were printed, as it was thought this would be sufficient for the demand that would be made. This number is exhausted, however, and an other 25,000 has been ordered. The Wenirn roads declare that they will reduce still further the rates between Chicago and Northwest points if neces sary to maintain their traffic against the competition of steamship lines and Southwestern railroads doing business at Gulf ports. It has become a serious matter for some of the roads, and they have been seen during the last three months a very large amount of tonnage go through the Gulf of Mexico, which otherwise they would have handled. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS Postmaster-General's Proposition Ue eelvlng Many Indorsements. . Washington, Nov. 24. Postmaster General Gary is receiving many letters regarding the postal saving bank propo sition strongly urged by him in his an nual report. Many people throughout the country have written, commenting on the projected radical extension of the postal service, and have submitted some suggestions calculated in their opinion to make the correspondents in dicate a rather general commendation, and some well-known economists and financiers numbered among the postmaster-general's friends, who have heretofore opposed measures of this character, have in letters just received given a qualified indorsement. Postmaster-General Gary expects some leg islation by congresfe on this question, possibly at the next session, and free discussion of it throughout the country will reuder material assistance to this end.

SOME OF THE IMPORTANT BILLS Prospects for Hawaiian Treaty Good Cuban Question Depends Upon President's Attitude. Washington, Nov. 22. Senator W. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, in an interivew regarding legislation at the coming session of congress said: "Senator Lodge proposes pushing the measure looking to the restriction of immigration and demanding its passage without delay. Bills proposing to bar the undesirable foreign element from entering this country are now pending in both the house and senate, and there is no doubt that the two houses will be able to agree upon a bill. The house measure lays restrictions on what are called "birds of passage," but the senate bill does not. The class refer red to is that which lives along the northern and southern border lines of the country, and embraces Mexioans and Canadians who work daily in the United States, but who live in their native countries. This part of the bill, in my judgment, eventually will be omitted, and the senate bill, which applies to immigrants from European and Oriental countries, will be passed. "Some action, I believe.will be taken looking to the relief of the Cuban in surgents. Of course, the Republican policy will largely depend upon the president's message, but, my opinion is that he will leave the entire matter to the judgment of congress. "The prospects for the ratification of the Hawaiian treaty are excellent. The Republicans will stand by it to a unit, and many Democrats will do like wise. I think the necessary two-thirds vote will be secured; "As to financial legislation, especial ly as to the revision of the. banking laws, I cannot see how any such legis lation can be passed." For the Land of Gold. New York, Nov. 22. A dispatch to the World from London says: London capitalists seem to be resolved to share in the big profits anticipated by a rush to the Klondike next spring. The Van couver & Northern Shipping & Trading Company, which is building the new Canadian Pacific railway, with a cap ital of $7,500,000 subscribed by six shareholders, today purchased the old Cunarders, the Bothnia and Scythia, and two Cape mail steamers, as the nucleus of a fleet to run from Van couver to Alaskan ports, commencing March 10. Both ships are chartered for freight by Lipton, the millionaire provision merchant, for the voyage out, and he is said to have a scheme for building a new town to be called Lipton ia, near Skaguay. This enter prise is understood to be the result of the visit to Skaguay of the Hon. James Burke Roche, who has just returned here. Two Mew Counterfeits. Washington, Nov. 22.

He came to talk over the last demand of our government for a settle ment of the McCord claim, and he has now, in return, proposed arbitration in the case. This proposition is not ac ceptable to our government, and the ne gotiations continue. A pound of the finest spider web would reach around the world. TROLLEY-CAR COLLISION.

Adolph Guy, consular agent of the United States at Edmonston, N. B., for two weeks' leave of absence, and appointed Emma Hart to act as consular agent during his ab sence. Miss Hart will probably have little business to do during her term of office. It is said at the state department that if she takes in more than $20 the offi cials will believe the natural gallantry of New Brunswickians has caused them to abandon other agencies and consul ates and secure the service of Mis Hart in transacting their business.
